It's a special Chausable for St. Hypocrites day, for those who parrot, parade and parody orthodoxy but do not believe or do it. They sound like a parrot's squawks and screeches, like broken off key organs, loud gongs and clanging cymbals.

The wearer parrots shibboleths like "inclusion for all", "marriage is a right", "millennium development goals", "global climate change", "homophobia", etc. Since Christians wear and proclaim the cross, leftists wear the animal that symbolizes their mindless repetition.

I was going to suggest it was inspired by that dopy song "On Eagles' Wings" until I realized that the big yellow bird was a parrot. SAINT parrot with a halo behind its head. Or is this some Jesus as a crucified parrot metaphor that I somehow missed?
